We explore the X-ray diagnostics of cosmic star formation history that have possible form recent deep field X-ray studies. We summarize the status of our understanding of the X-ray evolution of galaxies. We indicate the lessons learnt so far from number count plots, and criteria for distinguishing between normal/straburst galaxies and AGNs in deep X-ray surveys. We summarize how the observed correlations between X-ray emission and that at other wavebands indicate the value of X-rays as a probe of cosmic star formation.
